Topic: Cellar upgrade ->cheese cave (Read 1718 times)

here are some pictures of our new 'cheese cave', - 1) We have separated part of the basement with a new brick wall2) then walls and ceiling washed and painted with water-based paint

naturally temps in summer holds about 55-59F (12-15C), I have not checked RH yet. I would appreciate any of your comments and especialy on what would be the best humidity controll solution for my cave?

I didm't find any info about bricks but I did find info on comcret block

Concrete Block walls should be heavy density, non-porous blocks. Concrete block walls should be installed in a stack bond pattern (with reinforcement), rather than a running bond pattern (see Fig. 1), as there is less hold up of dust and moisture. As stated previously, the concrete blocks should be installed with a solid cap on the top course and without ledges or crevices. For additional durability and cleanability concrete block walls should be appropriately sealed and finished by painting with semi-gloss or gloss epoxy enamel paint covering.
